I am working as a contractor and I connected my Laptop to multiple Lans. I have a new client who requires that i use a ddiferent Anti virus to my other clients to be allowed to connect to thier lan...

Is it possible to run 2 AV programs ? I dont think it is...

Anyone got a creative soution ?
 
It is possible to run some AV programs together, although with a speed penalty.

Which two programs are you referring to?
 
I would not recommend it.

Just run the one he wants until you are finished the project, then switch back to your normal one.

Are you able to put your normal Anti-Virus into "sleep" mode? unload it from memory, but keep it on your hard drive and only run a manual scan when you want?
 
Only the real-time/resident components interfere. If you switch off that part of the A then it'll be OK. Leave one real-time on though.

Perhaps use a virtual machine to connect to the client network, loaded with their AV?
